Touching Lives
We began to build a relationship with Delorah, and she began to share her story with us. She told us that many of the people in her life had betrayed her, hurt her and abandoned her. She no longer had any family or friends whom she felt she could trust or count on.
Born with cerebral palsy, Dave is used to having help with daily activities. His parents cared for him at home until they passed away. Then, his siblings picked up that responsibility. When they were no longer able to care for him in their homes, they began searching for other options. At the time, Dale was only 63 – just two years shy of the age he needed to be to live at our community. He moved into a local boarding home, but Dale and his family did not forget their visit at Heritage Woods. When Dale turned 66, they returned to see if we’d consider caring for him.
